Our Elders

Our Diaconate
Mr. John Timmermans
Ken Drouillard
Ken has been serving as a deacon at Trinity ARP since September of 2023. He was born and raised in Windsor and Essex County as a member of the Catholic church. He met his wife, Michelle, from Cornwall, Ontario and after their marriage in 1997 they moved to Tilbury and began their spiritual journey together. Seeking biblical study, they left the Catholic church and entered into the Word of Faith movement in 2005. Years later, with much deliberation, guidance, prayer, and the Bible as their only authority, the Lord led them to the Reformed faith. They became members of Trinity ARP in Chatham in 2017 and are thankful to God for His guidance.
Throughout their journey, they have been blessed with 5 children whom they have homeschooled and who have grown up way too fast! Ken has worked at the Chrysler Assembly plant in Windsor since 1995. He enjoys reading, biking, camping, home renovations and especially spending time with the family. His prayer and desire is that all professing Christian churches would recognize and submit to the Word of God as their only source of authority for truth, worship, and daily living, and that God would be glorified in it.
